Sometimes in life a guy simply feels sorry for the miserable life some people must drudge through on a day to day basis. We’ve been unfortunatley involved in an ongoing fued with 2 neighbors up the road for a number of years. It started many years back when we were ambushed on a board of adjustments meetin when we sought a variance to build a slightly larger garage to house our boat down by the lake. Not knowing our “Friendly” neighbors at the time we endured a NO DICE vote from the Good Ole Boys Board. This was before Cheryl and I built our home and I vividly recall these neighbors telling the board I was going to live in the garage!! I will admit I am slow to forget things I feel are unjust or outright lies. Needless to say our relationship with these two neighbors has been less than desirable for the past years. Still I’ve tried to simply go about our business and let the miserable remain miserable. Yesterday I received a call from both the sheriffs department and Highway department in regards to my permanent fish house. I was frankly a bit shocked this would receive such attention. The sheriff’s department was not that keen to have any form of involvement in such a petty matter they assured me, yet needed to show they are doing their job in responding to a complaint. Still the highway department and I on the contrary didn’t exactly see eye to eye on this situation. We live on a small single laned county road that services around 8-9 residences. Just an old school small blacktopped service road. Our front lot with our lake access has our permanent fish house parked alongside the shoulder. It is about 6 feet off this road. I have been informed that I need to immediately move the house to clear the right away of 20 feet from the centerline meaning I need to go down hook it up and move it about 4 total feet. Now of course this has opened up a can of worms from my perspective as some residences main driveway leading to their garage is condiderably short. This same 20 foot right of way leads halfway into their paved drive. Life is too short my friends. I’ll buck up and move the fish house and I’ll await the movement of your vehicles off your driveway for the safety of all concerned. I’ve often wondered if some might only worry about themselves how simple life might really be.
